What is the Jasmine Oil made of?

✨ What is the Jasmine Oil made of?



🌞 French Perfume Jasmine, or Poets jasmine (Jasminum officinale) is the most popular jasmine in the world as it is the source of the original Jasmine essential oil.

🌞 There are two varieties - with single flower (Jasminum x grandiflorum - it has larger size flower and is more rare) and double flower ( Jasminum officinale Flore Pleno). They are very hard to tell apart when not in bloom as the leaves look the same, but the flowers differ (see video).

🌞 Essential oil of this jasmine is one of the most important components in perfumery.

🌞 Grown in the perfume fields of Southern France.

🌞 Semi-evergreen to deciduous vine with lots of fragrant white flowers in spring, summer, and fall.

🌞 Drought tolerant and hardy, it has good tolerance to a wide range of temperatures and is easily maintained in pots.

🌞 Jasmine associates nicely with climbing roses, honeysuckle or clematis, but it looks superb grown on its own.
